About this map

Red Willow Cr snakes through the canyon-carved terrain of Southwest Nebraska, defining the irrigation-focused landscape of this region. The map reveals a complex water management system essential for high-plains agriculture, including the Larington Reservoir and a network of arterial waterways like the Culbertson Extension Canal and Red Willow Canal. These features illustrate the transformation of the semi-arid prairie into productive farmland during the 20th and early 21st centuries. Local history and genealogy researchers will find the Box Elder Cem situated near the center of the sheet, providing a precise anchor for family ties in Frontier and Red Willow counties. The land's natural character is punctuated by deep drainage features like Bee Canyon and River Canyon, which interrupt the grid of section roads that organize the Nebraska plains.
